Ok so I bought the following bundle from OcUK:

Krypton Intel Core i7 920 D0 2.66GHz @ 4.00GHz Overclocked Bundle £294.04 1 £294.04
Chosen Option
Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775/LGA1156/LGA1366/AM2/AM3) £32.33 1 £32.33
Chosen Option
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard £129.35 1 £129.35

I had enough time to put it all together to make sure its working but its all a bit frantic today (got to work + going on holiday tomorrow).

When I started up the pc, the BIOS had the following error:

"The system has experienced boot failures because of overclocking or changes of voltage.

Last settings in BIOS setup may not coincide with current H/W status.

Current CPU Speed 2.6 Ghz
Current BLCK 133 Mhz
Current Memory Speed 1066 Mhz"

I assume there are pre loaded overlocked option in the bios that take this up to 4Ghz and I just need to enable them? Any comments appreciated as like I said above, im rather short on time at the moment :)

Thanks all
Mike.

P.S. If Stulid is reading - thanks for all the advice!
 
That message tends to appear if the system fails to boot a couple of times, something which happened to mine from time to time.

Enter BIOS and press F12 (or is it F11, it will makie sense when you see the options) to see a list of saved BIOS profiles, the 4GHz one will be something like 'OCUK', press enter on it to load the profile and then save and exit the BIOS.

If it consistently fails you may need to contact OCUK for advice on getting the overclock working.
